  • @MusicoftheDamned
    @MusicoftheDamned Před 3 lety +13

    Gods, even knowing the game would inevitably descend into nightmare, the very last line of dialogue is extremely ominous, in part because it's not a threat--it's promise and statement of fact. The game looks neat, especially for being done by one person in less than a month.

      @MusicoftheDamned Před 3 lety +1

      The literal last words of dialogue in this playthrough that start at 01:05:42. Even if that entity is lying, it's less that it's threatening you and more that it genuinely views your present refusal and your insistence to leave/wake as pointless in the end.

    The form here is making the game not much relatable to psychedelia at all. Text dialogues just for the sake of "retro gaming" really kills the vibe; if you are tripping, you just don't read, things come to meaning in different ways. I could call this game oniric, but the game itself seems much more worried in being another PS1 style game than anything else.

    35:39 sleep paralysis. One of the bigger medical lies and meant to frame similar witness accounts
    as a simple medical conditions.
    Whenever people encounter the same thing over and over and there is no way to say that the eye-witness accounts are
    simply anecdotal you have to use one of 3 major tactics:
    1) ridicule: personal, direct attacks or indirectly through subversive schemes
    2) give "natural" explanation for the phenomena that occured
    3) give "medical" explanation for why the eye-witnesses claims are false eventhough
    they describe the same or similar phenomena.
    Its also odd that Author of this game and Joel G - who both deploy similar "aesthetic" designs
    claim to be inspired by "dreams". But the theme is always antichristian: it always draws on "ancient greek Gods"
    or somehing similar.
